Last hour: Chaos at Real Madrid: Luka Modric accused Xabi Alonso of unfair behavior towards Arda Güler and even more unexpected evidence emerged!
Santiago Bernabéu is no stranger to drama, but the last controversy that shakes Real Madrid has shocked the world of football. It has been known that the legend of the club, Luka Modric, has publicly accused coach Xabi Alonso to mistreat the young star Arda Güler, which has unleashed an intense debate between fans, analysts and experts. With the appearance of the evidence of the accusations, the saga threat to break the cohesion of a template in transition under the leadership of Alonso.
The accusations are due to Modric’s frustration in the face of Alonso’s reluctance to give Gular the opportunities he deserves. Considered one of the brightest talents in Europe, the young 20-year-old Turkish prodigy has had his moments of brilliance since he arrived at Real Madrid in 2023. His performances towards the end of the 2024-25 season with former coach Carlo Ancelotti earned him generalized praise, with fans and experts who praised him as the future key piece of the team. However, according to reports, Guler’s role has decreased since Alonso took the reins, which led Modric to defend his young partner.
According to sources close to the club, Modric, who has been a mentor for Gular, believes that the limited game time of the young midfielder is not only unfair, but also harms his development. It is said that the Croatian teacher, now 38 years old and about to conclude his illustrious career, confronted Alonso in private before making his complaints public. Nearby sources claim that Modric has indicated specific cases in which Gular was ignored despite his excellent actions in training and brief appearances in the field. One of them occurred during Real Madrid’s victory 3-1 over Pachuca in the Club World Cup. Guler marked, but was replaced at the beginning of the second part. Apparently, Modric considers the unfair decision.
Modric’s tests, although not fully explained, include detailed Gular performance stories in the training field, where Gular constantly eclipsed some of his most veteran companions. Various sources also suggest that Modric has emphasized Alonso’s tactical decisions that favored experienced players or a certain profile, which could have harmed Gular’s creativity. For example, in the match against Al Hilal, Gular played on the right wing instead of his preferred role as central midfielder. Modric believes that this stopped the young man’s potential. These statements have fed the speculation that Alonso’s vision for the team may not be completely aligned with the integration of young talents such as Gular.
The situation is especially delicate given Modric’s position in Real Madrid. As six times champion of the Champions League and Golden Ball, his words have great weight. His decision to publicly criticize Alonso, former partner and coach who still maintains his authority, has generated controversy. Some see it as a bold defense of justice, while others see it as a risky decision that could tear the costumes. Social networks fans soon took sides: some praised Modric for defending Güler and others accused him of undermining Alonso’s leadership.
Alonso, meanwhile, has kept calm in public, emphasizing its commitment to the general success of the team. In his last press conference after the victory over Pachuca, he praised Gular’s contribution, saying: «Arda is a special player who needs to be close to the ball. The more the ball touches, the more the team helps ». However, the decision to replace Gular and trust experienced players such as Modric and Dani Ceballos at key moments suggests a cautious strategy, perhaps due to the pressure to obtain results in a high -risk environment.
The dispute arrives at a critical moment for Real Madrid, which is going through a crisis in the midfield after the withdrawal of Toni Kroos and the imminent march of Modric. Alonso has described Gular as a long -term substitute for Modric, but his attitude towards the young Turk has been subject to scrutiny. Several reports also suggest that the president of the club, Florentino Pérez, is exploring options to reinforce the midfield, with players such as Rúben Neves involved, which further complicates the situation.
As the Club World Cup progresses, all looks will be placed on how Alonso raffles this storm. Will you adjust your strategy to give Güler more opportunities, or Modric accusations will delve the division? For now, the Bernabéu remains a boiler of tension, with a legend of the club and an emerging star in the center of a saga that could define the Real Madrid season. The world of football awaits the next chapter of this drama.
